Itching and Itching Even More

Text by Olle - Living on Lamai Beach - Monday, September 6, 2010

After a good weekend the Monday came very fast. On the morning walk Nala spend all the time scratching her back until she was bleeding at some parts. That was it. The itching never gets better so I hurried back home and went off to the vet right away. The vet said that she could come home and see Nala in about an hour and that was faster then I had expected. That is really a great thing here, many things might be hard but others are so easy. After about an hour the vet arrived at our house and looked at Nala. She thought she might have got some infection from the many thousand ticks she has had during the last months so she got some super infection to take care of that. A then went back to the clinic and got more medicine. We have been trying with two special shampoos and it has been like this for several month so I really hope this helps. This is real torture for her.

When I got back home Nala was acting extremely strange. Like she had seen a ghost or so. She had her tail curled back and stood completely still. When she finally walked it looked like she would fall and she had a bump on her back as big as half a tennis ball so we called the vet again who then explained that this injection is extremely strong and she probably have pain and feel very sick. I hope she will feel better so that she eats and we can give her the other medicines as and tomorrow she will be having a bath with some super soup and then also cream in her ears which are extremely red. I cannot wait to get the real Nala back, for months she has been stinking already a few days after a shower because of all the rashes and that is really nasty.

Last week my gym card expired so I have not been to the gym for some days and I will not have time to go until Wednesday and I really look forward to that. The weather has been okay, today we had some clouds but also a lot of sun and almost no wind at all. It felt as it was a little bit less hot than before, well one or two degrees but anyway something. Since we did not have any rain season last year it will be interesting to see how this year will be, we are getting closer to the months where it usually rain most.

No we will head out to do some shopping and then I will try to slow down by the TV if I can.
